Paste one conversion per line, written the way you would say it: "5 km to mi". Handy for a column copied out of a spreadsheet.

About this tool

Converts between degrees, radians, gradians, arcminutes, arcseconds and mils, and between angles and the slope notations used in construction: percent grade, per mille, mm per metre. Slope is the trigonometric part - a 100 % grade is 45°, not 90°.

Good to know

Questions people actually ask

Why is a 100 % slope 45 degrees?
Percent grade is rise divided by run, so 100 % means one metre up for every metre along - a 45° angle. A vertical wall has no finite percentage at all, which is why grade converts through a tangent rather than a fixed factor.
